“You will outgrow something that was once a comfort; you will replace it with a song you hum in the soft parts of yourself.”

“I swear to god, I can see myself moving on, I can even see myself falling in love, I can see myself having this whole other life in which I’m not constantly sick to my stomach and you’re not the most permanent thing on my mind, you’re not the most recurring thought. I can see that. I can see happiness in the next five years. Maybe even ten. But then, then it all stops. I don’t see myself settling down, or getting married or having babies, instead, I see myself running into you on a street corner, I see us finding a way back. I see my future as an interlude, as a time to figure my life out, to figure out how to love and be loved, so that one day, five, ten years from now we can be together and not fuck it up.”

“You can’t fix me. Let me have my bad days.”

“Do yourself a favor and learn how to walk away. When a connection starts to fade, Learn how to let it go. When a person starts to mistreat you, learn how to move on.. to something and someone better. Don’t waste your energy trying to force something that isn’t meant to be.. Because the truth is.. for every one person who doesn’t value you - there are tons more waiting to love you better. Do better.”

There are no “shoulds”. Everyone’s journey is different. Everyone takes different time to get there. You are where you are. And it’s okay. You don’t have to be here forever. You won’t be here forever. You’re learning and growing and changing everyday, even when things feel stagnant.
